Our new album available here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dogtooth2
Among the growing forest of acoustic bands found roaming the Northwest, Dogtooth comes howling out of the trees with a furiously swirling mix of foot stomping, swinging, jacked-up acoustic music. Some dude once put it succinctly: "Dogtooth plays rocky energy with roots weapons”. Bingo. Collect your prize. Pepper that with some jazz chords and you got yourself Dogtooth in a nutshell. To a pounding rhythm, Dogtooth combines raw energy, extra gravy, and a cacophony of voices to breathe new life into the music of our past.
"For an acoustic band, Dogtooth manage to be really loud. If you're suffering from banjo fatigue, their new self-titled probably isn't for you, but for a multigenerational boot stomp/barn dance, you'd be hard-pressed to find better. Dogtooth are workaholic performers about town, which is a good thing, since this music demands to be heard live. They have found that elusive sonic bridge between the Great Depression and this new one, with hooky songwriting and the authenticity of roots music, unadulterated by newfangled electric guitars. This is the sound that T-Bone Burnett has been chasing for the last 30 years. There are harmonicas, mandolins, and fiddles, and four-sixths of the band sings. Not with carefully composed harmonies, but in a way that sounds muscular and spontaneous—like maybe we could all join in." REBECCA WILSON (Portland Mercury)
